    You still have one left Robby. That will take you at least 2 months.

    Rob has encouraged me to begin smoking my mysteries, so I'll get the first one sampled tonight and my guess up tomorrow. Let's keep this game rolling. . . Who's up next?

    So I started in the middle:

    It's a 6x60 with an oily maduro wrapper, very light tooth. Prelight it has a bittersweet smell from head to foot. The first third is dominated by hints of chocolate and a barnyard flavor, there's also some faint anise to it. In the 2nd third the barnyard falls away and the anise comes in a little more distinctly but the chocolate flavors remain the dominant aspect. I haven't gotten into the last third yet, but I'm really enjoying it and I'm ready to guess: I think it's a My Uzi Weighs a Ton.

    NICE... I'm glad you got started and you enjoyed it! What was the smoke time on this beast? I can't ever seem to get through a 6x60... after 2 hours, I'm usually burnt... no pun intended...

    unfortunately... you were a little off on the wrapper, which I think pointed you in the wrong direction...

    Wow, I thought I had that one. lol. But I enjoyed it and I'm going to have to get some more. Thank you for introducing me to a new cigar.

    I'm not sure how long it would've burned...I had to set it down at about 2 hours and there was probably another thirty minutes left in it.

    Prelight: head and foot smell like hay. looks like it’s 7x48 figurado with a dark habano or Cameroon? wrapper. Prelight draw offers some sweetness and something I can’t identify. I punched it and used a match for lighting. If the first few puffs, during the narrow, nipple part, are any indication of the wrapper’s qualities, it’s spicy, which makes me think habano. As it moves into the larger ring the flavor is becoming sweeter; even so, I’m not thinking Cameroon anymore. Wait, now that I’ve reached the full ring size, I feel certain it’s Cameroon. The particular sweetness of a Cameroon seems fully present now, and this cigar is starting to seem familiar but I don’t trust my instincts after my first mystery attempt.

    Now that I’m past the first quarter-inch, the flavors are developing into a more complex array. The aroma now has a nutty scent, but I’m not sure if I’m getting that on the retrohale. Mostly I think I’m getting the taste of tobacco, but there’s something that flits by on the last little bit from my nose. It goes by so quickly I’m not sure what I’m experiencing.

    Getting into the first inch, the nut flavor is more readily present, but still subtle (at least for me), the cigar is settling in well with a smooth and steady stream of smoke. It’s medium to light-medium in body at the moment, and becoming quite enjoyable. The smoke has a dry mouth feel and there’s a slight sweetness on the tongue, but it’s not what I associate with a Cameroon, still. . .Transitioning into the second inch, the sweetness is becoming apparent on the nose as well. It really isn’t a strong flavor though, very mild, gentle sort of sweet. It’s not a flavor I associate with a habano wrapper at all, nor is it the cloying flavor I think of when I think Cameroon.

    Moving into the second third, the mouth feel is damper but particularly so. It’s just not a dry mouth feel anymore, and the body has developed a little so that it is more solidly medium than before. The sweetness is more pronounced and I’m picking up that same spice from the prelight on the nose…a sweet spice, like clove, but I’m not sure that’s quite right. The burn is good, not perfect but not ragged enough to damage the experience. Considering that there are frequent gusts of wind it seems excellent for the conditions. A little further in, the spice has become more complex and the sweetness is taking a subordinate role. I can’t distinguish the different flavors exactly, but I’m getting a couple of spices and a sweetness like molasses. There’s a kind of earthy underlay holding it all together. A few puffs later, the profile is changing again. There’s more of a leather than earth now. And the spice has diminished also. I let it sit but it seems a bit bitter. I’m not sure if I puffed it too fiercely or not…

    I’m a little past the half-way point and it’s not going well. After a little sit, I picked it up and the draw has tightened and the flavors are a bit charred. I let it sit again and gave a little pokey-pokey, but sadly it hasn’t improved.

    So, my guess: I’m not sure, but is it an Arturo Fuente Hemingway?
